THOMAS S. LEITH, OF ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA.

REMOVABLE DOOR-SEGURER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 16, 1914.

Application filed August 20, 1913. Serial No. 785,633.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS S. LEITH, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Paul, in the county of Ramsey and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Removable Door-Securers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to auxiliary doorsecuring devices and has for its object to produce an article of this class so simple in construction that it may be readily carried in the pocket and applied with equal facility to a door to fasten the same securely and hold it against intrusion. I accomplish this object by means of the construction presently described and shown in the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, in Which Figure 1 is a plan view of the sliding plate, Fig. 2 is a side View thereof, Fig. 3 a plan view of the slotted rod; and Fig. 4 a side view of the same. Fig. 5 is a plan View of the pivoted lever, Fig. 6 a plan view of the above parts assembled forming my new device.

Similar numerals of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

My invention consists of a flat elongated rod 1 provided near one end with an elongated slot 2 and at the other end with a lug 3. Secondly, of a sliding plate 4: having a v body 5 provided with a lug 6 at one end With a cross slot 7 intermediate thereof, and a neck 8 at the other end having a lug 9,

preferably so bent as to form a groove 10. This rod and this plate are joined by pass ing the said rod 1 through the slot 7 of the plate 5 so that the lug 3 on the former and the lug 6 on the latter will extend at right angles to each other, the lu 9 of the neck 8 entering and sliding in the slot 2 of the rod. To the end X of the rod 1 is pivoted, by pin 11, the gooseneck lever 12 of the particular form shown having the bulging edge 14, the said lever being pivoted at the point 13 so that its said bulging edge will bear upon the lug 9 and cause the plate 5 to slide forward on the rod 1 and said lever is manipulated.

Having now described my invention, What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A removable door securer consisting of a rod provided at one end with an elongated slot and at the other end with a lug; a plate provided with a lug at each end turned in the same direction and a slot intermediate of said lugs, the rod being adapted to slide in the slot of the plate and one of the lugs of the plate adapted to slide in the slot of the rod; and a gooseneck lever so pivoted to one end of said rod that its bulging edge will bear against the lug of the plate and move said plate forward on said rod when the lever is manipulated.
